| Obverse description | Within a beaded inner circle, two confronted dragons arranged vertically in opposing directions, their bodies intertwined in a heraldic composition. The creatures are depicted with stylized wings, curling tails, and open jaws, rendered in the bold, simplified relief characteristic of early 14th-century Austrian bracteate-style pfennigs. The field surrounding the dragons is plain, and the flan is irregularly shaped as typical of hammered coinage of this period. |

| Reverse description | Uniface strike; the reverse displays a smooth, unworked surface with a faint incuse mirror impression of the obverse design, as is characteristic of thin hammered pfennigs of this type produced in Styria during the early 14th century. |
